Employment can be tough.

Sometimes there just isn’t the job you really want. After all, do you really want to work 8-10 hours a day making someone else richer? Many of us do this but some of us want more. We want to control our own destiny. But being your own boss… starting your own business can be scary. And statistically speaking, according to Forbes, 8 out of 10 businesses fail in the first 18 months…

BUT FRANCHISING TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY!

When you are part of a franchise you have a team behind you to help you do amazing things. That team consists of two vital components. The head office team – the franchisor and of course your fellow franchisees… at Gametraders you get both. Our franchisees are in business to succeed and they want you to succeed too. In fact, franchising is a great option according to a report on Franchise Business’ website. This quote from the ABS says it all:

“Offering a number of advantages to franchisor and franchisee, between 2012 and 2014, the Australian franchise sector has grown by an estimated 6000 franchise units; compared to the 2.9 percent decrease in Australian businesses reported by the ABS …”

During the GFC, many businesses shrunk or completely collapsed. But Gametraders pushed through and is now on the path to growth. Our evolution into pop culture and “experience” retail means that we’re ahead of the curve in our market.

Ours is an exciting industry that is growing and expanding. People love Gametraders and recent surveys found a massive majority of our customers loved our brand and our stores…

If you’ve considered giving the day to day grind away and taking control of your life, talk to our Managing Director and Founder, Mark Langford. This year alone we’ve had successes in new franchise owners coming on board and have had a huge increase in new store inquiries. Australia is a huge country and there’s plenty of room for hundreds of Gametraders success stories… want to be one of them?
